Let's Fall in Love for the Night - Finneas

I was certainly not ready.

Not ready to marry, not ready to be bonded for life to a man I didn't even have the slightest ounce of respect for.

Not ready to feel like my life just ended at the age of 18.

Not ready to lose my virginity to a man I didn't love.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice.

So there I was, alone, in my room at my parents' house. I was in my bed, surrounded by packed boxes of everything I owned. After the wedding, I would move in with him.

I didn't want to.

As so often, my gaze fell on the ring on my finger. It was only a ring but it felt like I had rocks hanging on my finger, pulling me down. The ring was all fancy and expensive but I hated it to no end.

I had one last night. One night until my life officially ended. Making an impulsive and probably dumb decision, I pulled the ring off my finger and did what I never did before, what I never expected myself to be doing.

I sneaked out.

I positioned the ring on my nightstand, opened my window, and climbed out. I've never been this relieved that I had a room on the ground floor.

I walked the few meters to the next bus stop and waited impatiently for the bus that would bring me to him.

Him, the person I started loving before I even knew what love was. Him, who I knew I never could be with. Him, who I knew he loved me too.

The short bus ride was spent with me deciding to return home and me changing my mind approximately a dozen times.

But I didn't. A few minutes later I stood in front of his door and impatiently rang the bell. As the door opened, I didn't even wait for the surprised look on his face to appear. I stepped forward and forcefully pressed my lips on his.

He stumbled back in surprise and crashed against the wall with his back. Regardless, immediately, he kissed me back.

Finally, finally, I could taste his lips. It was everything I dreamt of and more. And it was everything my future husband wouldn't be able to give to me.

He turned me so my back was against the wall as he pressed himself at me. Unknown sensations overwhelmed me as our lips moved against each other in sync. Feelings in such an intensity stormed over me, making me dizzy, making me want, need more of him.

I let my hands wander down to his belt and started opening it.

He tensed, breaking the kiss. "W-What is happening?" he asked, bringing distance between us. My body felt cold and empty without him and my lips screamed after being united with his once again.

"Let's fall in love for the night
And forget in the mornin'."

He let out a humorless laugh, "I know better than to ever call you mine."

"I'm sorry," I whispered, tears forming in my eyes. His face softened. Hesitantly, he stepped closer to me again, wrapping his arms around my waist and letting me bury my head in his chest.

"I'm sorry," I repeated, closing my eyes as I relished in the feeling of being held by him. "I don't know what came over me. I just know tonight is the last night of freedom I'll ever have and I want nothing more than to spend it with you."

I looked up to him and saw the exact same emotions in his eyes I was sure he could see in mine.

Hurt, anger, hopelessness... And a broken heart.

He didn't say anything but held onto me tighter.

"It breaks my heart that you have to do this. Life would be so different if I were to have you by my side forever," he whispered.

I closed my eyes as images of what could be my future in a different world stormed over me. I imagined marrying him, I imagined his smile when he saw me wearing my dress. I imagined our wedding night. I imagined a house with a little garden, a hammock, a little dog, and little versions of us running around.

All I wanted and all I could never have. I held him tighter, not ready to let go any time soon.

Unfortunately, he released me when my phone gave a buzzing sound. I pulled it out and checked it, praying that my parents hadn't noticed my missing. Just seeing the name on the display made me want to throw up. I locked the phone and returned my attention to the boy in front of me. His eyes stared into nothing, just where my phone had been. Another buzz brought him out of his trance.

Before I could decide whether to check the message or not, he used his hand to lift up my chin. Where his hand touched my skin, it began to tingle.

Every thought about my fiance or my phone was gone.

He could make me forget about everything just by an innocent touch.

He leaned forward and whispered into my ear, "Don't waste your eyes on jealous guys, fuck that noise."

His breath grazing my ear made me shiver. He wandered along my jaw with his lips. He barely even touched my skin but that was very much enough to make me go crazy.

"You won't stay with me, I know. But you can have your way with me 'til you go," he mumbled.

"One night will never be enough for me," I whispered, closing my eyes at the feelings washing over me.

"It's all we have," he whispered back, his lips being so close to mine.

He was so right. All we'll ever have. Somehow, between trying not to pass out because of the things I was feeling and trying to remember how to breathe, I managed to speak. I looked him into his beautiful gray eyes and whispered, "Then we better use it well."

Not even a second after I said that, his lips were on mine again. There was nothing gentle about it. It was all about need and desperation.

He lifted me up as if I weighed nothing. I wrapped my legs around him and kissed him with the same urgency. I moaned as his lips wandered down to my neck.

Maybe I couldn't have him forever, maybe I'll have to marry someone I don't and never will love. But I'll always have this night to think back to. Even though it broke my heart, I would have made the same choice again anytime.
